Safety Rules
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our eorts to provide safe equipment can
be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and understands the manual(s)
pertaining to this machine. Also make certain that the operator(s) reviews and understands the operator’s manual of the tractor prior to
hooking up or operating the grain cart.
Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need more information, contact
the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.
SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service and operate this machine. Know the
positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check all controls in a safe area before starting your
work.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make certain your machine has the
proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling o equipment and being run over. Do not permit persons to ride on
this machine.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating
near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Collision of high speed road trac and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads, use asher lights according
to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to let faster trac pass.
Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate skin and cause infection or other injury. To prevent personal injury,
• Relieve all pressure before disconnecting uid lines.
• Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition.
• Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
• If injured by leaking uid, see your doctor immediately.
When transporting the grain cart, always keep the auger in the stow position.
Use care when moving of operating the grain cart near electric lines as serious injury or death can result from contact.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate the grain cart until all power is shut o. Keep all safety shields in place. Keep hands, feet, hair
and clothing away from moving parts while the grain cart is in operation.
The service ladder is for service work only. If you must climb into the grain tank, be certain that all power is shut o and then use
extreme caution when climbing into the grain cart.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine.
Make sure that the grain cart is fastened securely to the tractor by using a high strength hitch pin, clip and safety chains. Make sure
that the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch type of the tractor. Use a single prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a double prong
(clevis) tractor hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain cart hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch. Be sure the tractor pin is at
least 1/4” smaller in diameter than the pin hole in the grain cart hitch to ensure enough free movement when traversing through uneven
terrain.
Before lling the grain cart, make certain that no one is inside the grain tank. Never allow children or anyone in, near, or on the grain
cart during transport or during loading and unloading of grain. Be aware that moving grain is dangerous and can cause entrapment,
resulting in severe injury or death by suocation.
Never operate the auger system with anyone inside the grain tank. Hands, feet, hair and clothing can t through the openings in and
around the grate. Contact with the auger can cause severe injury or death. Make certain that all power is shut o before service work is
performed.
Before unhooking the grain cart from the tractor, be sure the jack stand is properly mounted and in place and the wheels are properly
blocked to prevent the cart from moving.

11
Initial Operation and Maintenance
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.
Before the grain cart is put into service:
• Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?
• Has the gearbox been properly lled with SAE 80W-90 gearbox lubricant?
• Have all nuts, bolts, bearings and braces been properly fastened?
• Has the PTO been checked for proper overlap?
CHECK PTO OVERLAP LENGTH: Overlap length may vary depending on the tractor model and hitch setting. Try to obtain the
greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the extreme operating conditions. Too much overlap may cause the PTO to bottom
out and damage the driveline. Not enough overlap may cause the PTO front and back halves to separate. From the fully compressed
(shortest) length the PTO should be telescoped (extended) between 10”and 22”. Dierent PTO lengths may need to be purchased to
accommodate your terrain. A 4”shorter or a 10”longer PTO can be ordered through your dealer from J&M Manufacturing.
FOLDING AND UNFOLDING THE AUGER: X-Tended Reach grain carts oer three positions for the auger, depending on your use:
• Storage - For when the grain cart is stationary and not in use.
• Field - For when using the grain cart in the eld. The auger must be elevated in the eld to avoid ground interference and kicking
soil into the tip spout.
• Unload - For when the auger is in use. To maximize the life of the grain cart, return the auger to eld position between unloading.
To unfold the auger from the storage position, keep the throw handle in eld position and unfold the auger.
To use in eld position, move the auger above the ip-up auger rest (the throw handle will remain in eld position) and lower the
auger onto the rest. The auger rest prevents the auger from moving into storage position as it unfolds.
To return to the storage position, unfold the auger, lift the auger above the rest, move the throw handle and ip auger rest to the
storage position, and fold the auger completely. The auger rest will automatically move to eld position through this pass.
GREASE POINTS: Are all bearings on the drive line properly greased? Are all set screws in the bearings and U-joints tight? Has the
power-take-o shaft been properly greased at all points including the cross bearings? Has the universal joint at the gearbox been
greased? Have all grease points at the auger hinge area, including the hanger bushing assembly been greased? If applicable, has the
swivel ball hitch been greased?
TIRE PRESSURE: Are the tires properly inated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire ination for cyclic use. Figures
can vary depending on specic brand of tire used. It is important that tires are inspected before and after the unit is loaded. The tire
pressures below are recommended by the manufacturer. On select tires the listed pressure is lower than the max tire pressure to
reduce compaction. If desired, the pressure MAY BE increased UP TO the max tire pressure for traveling long distance while
empty on the road.

Operating Instructions
VERY IMPORTANT: Under no circumstance is it recommended to tow a loaded grain cart in excess of 8 mph.
WHEEL NUTS: Are the wheel nuts properly fastened? Torque to 640 Ft.-Lbs. for standard 22mm wheel studs and nuts. Wheel studs
and nuts should be checked after each load during initial operation of the cart and then after every 10 hours of use. Failure to
do so may damage wheel studs and nuts. To ensure that wheel nuts do not loosen, it may be helpful to mark the location of one side
of the nut and wheel rim with paint. This will help when observing if any rotation of the nut occurs. Once the seats are damaged, it will
become impossible to keep the lug nuts tight.
The drawing shows the proper way to mount the wheels using Budd-type nuts. The wheels supplied with
your grain cart have straight holes and the Budd nuts will be mounted according to Figure 1. Wheels that
are improperly installed on the grain cart, resulting in product failure, will nullify warranty and shift the
burden of liability to the owner/operator. We recommend you inspect your wheel nuts to make sure they
are properly installed. Also, check the wheel nuts on a regular basis to ensure they are tight.
LIGHTING AND SAFETY DECALS: Are the rear, amber extremity lights properly positioned? Extend the lights within 16” (40,6cm) of the
left and right extremities of the grain cart. Is an SMV Emblem attached to the rear of the grain cart?
Are the lights working properly? Are all lights and reective decals clean, visible and properly placed?
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN HOOKING UP TO TRACTOR OR CONNECTING HYDRAULIC LINES TO TRACTOR.
Tractor requirements for proper towing: Model 1522 grain carts require a 300+ HP Tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull a loaded grain cart on highway. For incidental highway travel, observe the section below.
Tow Loads Safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too
heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:
• Grain cart empty: Do not travel more than 20 mph (32 km/hr) and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the pulling unit’s weight.
• Grain cart loaded: Do not travel more than 8 mph (12 km/hr) and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the pulling unit’s weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
WARNING: For greater stability on uneven or steep terrain, position non-scale wheel spindles at the furthest out setting.
IMPORTANT:
1. Connect grain cart hitch to tractor drawbar using a good quality hitch pin. Attach the safety chain to the tractor and through one
chain loop provided on either side of the grain cart frame as shown. Make sure the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch of the
tractor. Use a single prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a tractor double prong (clevis) hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain cart
hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch.
Safety Chain User Instruction
a) Secure the safety chain by looping it around each side of the grain cart as shown and connecting to the
towing machine’s attaching bar.
b) Do not allow any more slack than necessary for articulation.
c) Do not use any intermediate support as the attaching point.
d) Store the safety chain by securing it around the main axle A-frame of the grain cart.
e) Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end ttings are broken, stretched or otherwise
damaged or deformed.
2. Attach the power-take-o shaft to the tractor. The PTO must have at least 10”of engagement. Check tractor drawbar for clearance
and length and adjust if necessary. Make sure the PTO does not bottom out when making sharp turns as it may bend the drive
shaft. Check for adequate clearance between telescoping PTO and tractor hitch. Suggested clearance is 7 inches.
3. Make sure the jack stand is repositioned from the lower support position before the cart is moved. Never use the jack to support a
loaded grain cart.
4. Be sure that no debris or foreign objects are in the grain cart.

Operating Instructions
5. Attach the hydraulic lines to the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (green band) operate the inside gate mechanism. Connect these lines
to one service outlet on the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (yellow band) operate the folding mechanism of the auger. Connect these
lines to a second service outlet on the tractor. The remaining two hydraulic lines (red band) operate the hydraulic ow control spout
located at the end of the upper auger. Connect these lines to a third service outlet on the tractor. Make sure the air is bled from the
hydraulic cylinders and hoses.
6. Run the auger system EMPTY before loading grain into the tank for actual use. Make certain that the upper and lower augers are
properly engaged.
7. Connect the lighting 7-prong connector end on the main wiring harness to the tractor electrical outlet. Make sure that all asher
and turn indicator lights are working properly before incidental highway travel.
CAUTION
• Do NOT operate the grain cart before reading and understanding this Operator’s Manual and ALL danger, warning and caution signs.
• Be sure that a Slow-Moving-Vehicle emblem is attached to the rear of the grain cart.
• Never exceed 1,000 rpm on the PTO and driveline system.
• Never fold or extend the auger until the PTO has come to a complete stop.
• Never ll the grain cart unless the gate indicator is in the closed position.
• Never allow foreign objects (shovels, etc.) to be placed inside the grain cart.
• Never engage the lugs and drive dogs on the augers when the system is moving at a high rate of speed.
• Never perform maintenance work or service the grain cart with the tractor running.

14
IMPORTANT: Your grain cart has grease ttings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the grain cart is put into operation.
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART
PTO & DRIVELINE: The grease ttings on the PTO should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease ttings on each of
the drive bearings and also the universal joint after every 8 hours of use.
AUGER FOLDING MECHANISM: One grease tting is located on the pivot pin of the folding auger. This tting should be serviced after
every 8 hours of use. Service the grease tting on the hanger bushing assembly (top end of the lower auger assembly) after every 8
hours of use or as needed.
SPRING LOADED UPPER AUGER BEARING: Service the grease tting on the upper auger bearing (1 pump) (located at the top end of
the upper auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use. Lubricate the springs and retaining bolts on the bearing before prolonged storage
of the grain cart.
GEARBOX: Gearbox lubricant has been added to the gearbox during nal assembly. Recheck the lubricant level before initial operation of

Troubleshooting
WARNING
BE CERTAIN ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF WHEN SERVICING THE GRAIN CART
• Repack the bearings in the hub assembly once a year or as needed. Use a good quality LS EP2 Severe Duty, High Shock Load, Lithium
based Grease. Also check the seal for wear and replace if necessary.
• Check the grain cart periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds xed immediately. Failure to
do so could result in extensive damage to the grain cart and greatly reduce the life of the cart.
• Lubricate the slides on the clean-out door.
• Check all hydraulic hoses for wear and replace as necessary.
• Make sure all tires are properly inated. See “Initial Operation and Maintenance” on page 11 for recommended instructions for tire
pressure. It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit loaded.
• Make sure that all guards and shields are in place before operating the grain cart.

Adjusting Upper Auger
WARNING
MAKE SURE ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE FLIGHTING ASSEMBLY.
LOWER FLIGHTING - If the drive dog and hanger assembly are becoming excessively hot during unloading, the lower ighting and/or
hanger may need adjusting. The hanger bushing assembly has elongated holes where it attaches to the outer tube assembly. Loosen
the two 1/2”bolts on the hanger bushing assembly. Adjust the hanger either up or down and vertically center it between the ighting
and drive dog. Re-tighten the bolts. Make certain that the ighting center and drive dogs do not rub the hanger bushing assembly,
causing them to become hot.
If the hanger can no longer be adjusted by moving it up or down on the elongated holes, both the hanger bushing assembly and the
lower ighting will have to be removed. After removing them from the tube assembly, place a shim [between 1/8”(0,32cm) to 3/16”
(0,48cm) thick] where the gearbox and the spline coupler (welded to the lower ighting). Replace the lower ighting and reattach the
hanger to the tube assembly. Readjust the hanger assembly. NOTE: The bottom of the lower ighting is not attached to the gearbox
with any bolts or set screws but may be‘frozen’fast. Be careful when removing the lower ighting from the gearbox. For easier removal
of the lower ighting, keep the gearbox at the bottom intact, remove the two 1/2”bolts from the hanger bushing assembly and pull the
lower ighting o of the gearbox.
After adjusting the lower ighting, move the upper auger to the unload position and check the upper ighting for readjustment.
UPPER FLIGHTING - If the upper and lower augers to do not properly separate during the unfolding sequence, the upper ighting
may need adjusting. Before making adjustment to the upper ighting, check to see if the lugs and drive dogs on the auger assemblies
are locking together. If they are not locked together, check to see if a faulty check valve on the hydraulic cylinder used to raise and lower
the upper auger assembly may be causing the problem.
Fold the upper tube assembly into the upright position. Position the upper ighting in the engaged position with the lower ighting.
Locate the four-hole ange bearing on the top of the upper auger tube housing. With the upper ighting in the engaged position,
check the spacing between the upper bearing and the upper tube housing. There must be an 1/8”(0,32cm) space between the base of
the four-hole ange bearing and the upper tube housing. If there is NOT a space between the bearing and the upper tube housing, or
if there is more than 1/8”(0,32cm) space, the upper ighting will need to be adjusted. To adjust the upper ighting, loosen the 1-1/4”
hex nuts both above and below the four-hole ange bearing. Move the 1-1/4”hex nuts up or down the threaded shaft on the top of the
auger ighting shaft until the bearing moves to approximately 1/8”(0,32cm) above the base of the upper tube housing. When the four-
hole ange bearing is properly located, tighten both 1-1/4”hex nuts together to secure the bearing position.
If the upper and lower ighting still does not separate properly during the folding sequence, a small bevel may need to be removed from
the inside of the lugs where they engage the drive dogs on the auger assemblies. Grind approximately 1/8”(0,32cm) from the corner of
the lugs where they touch against the drive dogs.

Removing Dirt from the Restrictors on the Hydraulic Cylinder
WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF AND THE UPPER AUGER TUBE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE
RESTRICTORS
Remove restrictors from the 90 degree street elbow on the tip spout hydraulic cylinder. Remove dirt from the tting to allow hydraulic
oil to ow through the restrictor. Reattach the restrictor to the street elbow. Use Teon sealant tape or equivalent on the threads of the
restrictor before re-attaching.
If the restrictor continues to plug with dirt, replace the restrictor or lter the hydraulic oil in your system.
Storage
IMPORTANT: When the grain cart is not going to be used for a period of time, store the cart in a dry, protected place. Leaving your grain
cart outside, open to the weather will shorten its life.
Procedure for Storage Preparation
1. Cover electronic monitor (if equipped) with plastic before washing the grain cart. Wash or clean and completely lubricate the grain
cart. See “Lubrication Service Schedule” on page 14.
2. Remove all grain from inside the grain tank, auger tube assemblies, and at the clean-out door.
3. Check the gearbox oil and replace with new SAE 80W-90 gearbox lubricant or equivalent if necessary.
4. Touch up areas where paint may have worn away. Use a good quality primer paint, especially before re-applying graphite paint to the
interior slopes of the grain tank.
5. Retract all hydraulic cylinders to prevent the piston rods from rusting.
6. Clean the tires before storage. Inate the tires at regular intervals.
7. Open the clean-out doors at the base of the grain tank.
Removing from Storage
1. Check the gearboxes to make sure they have the appropriate amount of oil.
2. Inate the tires to the correct operating pressure.
3. Close the clean out doors at the base of the grain tank.
4. Make sure all safety shields are in the proper position.
